Archon Prophecy Highlights:
Two New Forms:
Elysian – ascended, heavenly beings that bring a touch of the divine to your realm.
Ancient – withered and bent beings from the depths of history - and other, more sinister places.
New Narrative Content: Forge your destiny with Prophecy Traits — new society traits that help you shape your empire. Early in your journey a vision will appear, challenging you to define your ruler’s purpose and ambitions. How you interpret it is up to you, but fulfilling the Prophecy will unlock powerful rewards.
Two New Story Realms:
Rings of Emnora – Enter the hidden realm of Emnora, stronghold of the Archons, in a search for aid in the eternal war against Urrath.
Cliffs of Sordünn – Land on the Coast of Sordünn and explore an ancient land that fell into the endless horrors of the Umbral Abyss. Reclaim the realm from Urrath's clutches and fulfill a Prophecy that will shape the war between light and darkness.
Four New Tomes:
Tome of Virtue: Empower your armies with unwavering righteousness and bolster their fighting strength until the bitter end.
Tome of Prophecies: Weave fate into every moment with prophetic spells and omens that shape the battlefield.
Tome of the Revenant: Channel the power of the dead, and take vengeance against the living.
Tome of the Archon: Summon celestial allies and ascend your units to the ranks of Archons.
New Hero Class: Answer the call of the divine with the power of the Battlesaint. Whether guiding the faithful as a sacred support unit or standing firm as a martyr-like tank, the Battlesaint turns virtue into strength and sacrifice into victory.
And So Much More, including seven new wildlife units roaming the wilds, two new mounts, five new music tracks from composer Michiel van den Bos, several map updates, new interface skin and many other smaller things!
Griffon Update Highlights
Flaws are a new type of Form Trait that introduces meaningful drawbacks to your form. Unlike typical traits, Flaws add points rather than costing them when selected, allowing you to invest more into strengths elsewhere.
Magic Hero Classes have gotten their themes and mechanics split up to create new classes that more effectively cover their associated themes. These changes increase the variety of mage-type heroes that show up during the game, and improve replayability.
We’re expanding Faction Creation with a new Advanced Settings menu to give players more control over how their custom Factions behave when controlled by the AI. This feature is designed for players who want a more consistent and immersive experience, particularly when playing in worlds where their own custom Factions show up.
AI Strategic Bonuses are a way of giving selected AI players tailored early-game bonuses. These are designed to help them scale faster and apply pressure sooner, making each playthrough feel more tense, risky, and unpredictable.
We’re introducing Tactical AI profiles as a replacement for Handicaps. These profiles change the behavior and difficulty of the combat AI to make Tactical Combat feel more balanced, dynamic, and satisfying. Profiles can be selected for Rulers, Free Cities and Marauders independently.
Various Quality of Life updates: Multi-Stack Movement, notification Updates, Persistent Forged Weapons, new Pantheon content and more!
